Chapter 31 Childlike Smile
Yu Wanwan covered her mouth to prevent herself from making a sound in surprise. What were those bruises?
Noticing Yu Wanwan"s facial expression, Li Qianluo lowered her head to look at her body. With an embarra.s.sed smile, she rapidly put on her dress. "Good girl, you didn"t see anything, did you?"
d.a.m.n Si Jinheng! Li Qianluo almost forgot those s.e.xual marks on her body.
... Yu Wanwan recovered from surprise and rolled her eyes at Li Qianluo, for Li Qianluo thought Yu Wanwan as gullible as a child.
After getting changed, they left the mall, laughing and chatting. The mall would soon close for the night, with no customers lingering and only employees knocking off from work.
Si Jinheng, sitting in the car far away, saw Li Qianluo, who was romping with Yu Wanwan. "She looks more like a teenager, rather than a married woman, " Si Jinheng thought...
At that moment, Si Jinheng wished that he could always fight for her everlasting childlike smile.
Also, Li Qianluo saw the dazzling Maybach at the gate of the mall. After parting from Yu Wanwan, Li Qianluo headed for the car and got in directly.
With the dim light and light music on in the car, Si Jinheng, on the driver"s seat, watched her and kissed her on the cheek. "Are you tired?"
Li Qianluo felt happy deep down and smiled, "Yes, I was. But seeing you expels all my tiredness."
Her honeyed words made Si Jinheng smile. "Since you are not tired, how about doing something else?" Upon finishing the words, he smiled evilly.
Li Qianluo immediately folded her arms over her chest and moved towards the car door. Hearing his deep, masculine laughter, Li Qianluo became aware that he just made fun of her.
Humph! He made fun of her! Fine! A real woman is sure to take the revenge!
Si Jinheng started the car and skillfully drove it steadily forward.
In the beginning, Li Qianluo sat upright. Less than two minutes later, looking at Si Jinheng, who was driving carefully, Li Qianluo struck out a plan.
"OK, Boss Si, let"s do something else now." Li Qianluo answered simply.
Out of her expectation, Si Jinheng pulled over without any hesitation, got off the car, walked towards her side, and opened the car door, all done at one stretch.
Li Qianluo held on to the steering wheel, refusing to get out of the car. For a while, they were in a stalemate.
"Get out, Li Qianluo! Let me satisfy you!" Si Jinheng loosened his grip on her hand, and looked at her with a scowl. Fancy being teased by that little woman! He must give her a lesson; otherwise, he will be mistaken for being good-tempered. At that moment, Si Jinheng completely forgot that it was he that made the start.
"No!" Li Qianluo smiled in embarra.s.sment. She has to admit that Si Jinheng is so cool that he just means it.
Si Jinheng looked at Li Qianluo, whose crafty gaze brightened, and steadied himself. Very good! It seems that this little woman is revengeful. Well. Si Jinheng would not leave the matter at that!
Si Jinheng went back to his seat and started the car again. Li Qianluo then turned well-behaved and sat quietly until they arrived at the destination -
A restaurant, or rather a place where a lot of calligraphy works, paintings, rare stones and antiques are collected. The restautant has only seven private rooms, intended for VIPs only.
A waiter guided them to a room called "Orchid Pavilion" with several calligraphy works and paintings of contemporary celebrities hanging on the wall. On the antique table were several rare stones. The dining table and chairs were made in the late Qing Dynasty.
With the elegant light cla.s.sical music, the entire room was overwhelmed with antique flavor.
Being immersed in this rich cultural atmosphere is a good way to gain new perspective.
It may not be the first time that Si Jinheng has visited here, because the general manager of the restaurant ordered several dishes of specialty for them.
The chef there is a 60-year-old expert on pastries and staples, who has won many awards.
Normally, guests should make a reservation to enjoy the chef"s delicacies, while Si Jinheng has the privilege of come-and-order at any time.
All dishes ordered were served in no time. Rather than using valuable and rare food materials, they were local specialities that would just provoke the appet.i.te, Including the cold dishes - Luoyang Chinese Artichoke with Spicy Sauce and Shaoxing Wined Chicken, hot dishes - Steamed Mandarin Fish and Bean Vermicelli and Baby Chinese Cabbage with Garlic and staples - Wide Noodles with Sour Soup, Chinese Scallion Pancake and rice.
Li Qianluo became appet.i.tive that her whole mind was enjoying the meal then.
Si Jinheng turned the mandarin fish over, picked up a piece of fish, dipped it into the soy sauce of steamed fish, and put it into Li Qianluo"s bowl.
His consideration delighted Li Qianluo further. With the handsome man, delicious food and beautiful room, she was rather full because of being not moderate in eating.
Rubbing her full belly, Li Qianluo whined, "I"m stuffed! It will be hard to fall asleep later!"
Si Jinheng looked at his funny, lovely wife and said, "I can do sports with you to help you digest." There seems to be an overtone in his remarks.
Li Qianluo doubted that she may think too much and shook her head, "I will go out for a walk later."
After the manager served a dish of artistically cut-up fruit, Li Qianluo could not refrain from eating some pieces of mango and dragon fruit.
"What else would you like to eat?" Si Jinheng was perfectly satisfied when he saw Li Qianluo was full and happy.
"No. It is enough." Li Qianluo instantly waved her hands as she would be too stuffed to move if she indulged her taste buds.
To help her digest, Si Jinheng asked an experienced guide to show them around the two stories of Yuluo Pavilion.
From stone lion of the Ming Dynasty to modern calligraphy works, paintings and rare stones, it really collected a great many art curiosities. Li Qianluo learned a lot of historical knowledge there. Si Jinheng bought a famous contemporary painter"s hanging painting of stone before leaving.
After arriving home, Li Qianluo took a comfortable bath. When she was about to go to bed, she found that Si Jinheng was not in the room with her. She opened the door and looked toward the study, whose door was not closed. Si Jinheng was right there, working with his computer.
He presides over such a large group with a number of businesses she doesn"t even know. No doubt that he is busy every day. How hard working he is! Is she supposed to do something for him?
After thinking for a while, she went downstairs quietly to the kitchen. From the refrigerator, which is full of food, she took out a bottle of milk. She then poured a gla.s.s of milk, heated it and brought it to the study.
Noticing Li Qianluo in her nightdress coming up with a gla.s.s of milk, Si Jinheng, who was typing quickly, stopped.
"Hey umm. I am going to sleep. You"ve been working hard all day. Please have some milk and go to rest." As his naughty and lovely wife seldom considered him thoughtfully, Si Jinheng was left blank-minded for a moment and even forgot to reach for it.
After a long while, not having the slightest idea of why he didn"t give her any response, Li Qianluo gave up waiting and decided to drink the milk herself.
"Wait!" Si Jinheng stood up to fetch the milk and drank it off in one gulp.
Seeing the empty gla.s.s, Li Qianluo grinned. When she was about to put the gla.s.s downstairs, a strong force pulled her back.
